What is quite possibly a very bad thing happened earlier this morning and the hope that I would someday have something, other than my general good disposition about it all, to show for my time here on this planet dimmed ever so slightly.

I discovered pinterest and I thought I would never forgive Camilla. Not the one in the unflattering though in all likelihood comfortable frocks. No, the possibly unforgivable was committed by the Camilla at champagnebubbles.

First thought was

shiney things! .

The next thought was

I'm never going to take over the world at this rate, Pinky.

There's so much more, but I got tired of trying to choose from all the creativity other people have thrown with such wild abandon. I was on my way to web surfing away the day. Then, as the Universe does, exactly what was needed was given exactly when it was needed,

Justine,going forward, I'm going to just figure out which creative outlet I feel most at home with and focus on that like an athlete. Do the work.. etc.I'd be curious to know how your friend takes this.

J, I really really think the key isn't harder, it's consistency. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep trusting your "eye". Keep making the thing you love come from inside so the rest of us can see it. Then again it is labor, a lot like giving birth, and that was pretty damn hard come to think of it. Never mind. Work harder! Push! ..but be nice to you.

Jenni, What I loved about that it that it was so easy to do. And if you use remnants it's not that expensive either. If you do that to your wall, I'd love to post a photo of it here at cookedheads. It would be a neat illustration of how something that "wasted time" inspired something tangible.

Elsie, I agree, but sometimes I find myself starting to pine for my own outlet to be more substantial and that's not going to happen websurfing unless I use what I see to make something good to give away.

A poem, "Cooked Heads" was the inspiration for this place. There is a line within it that says, "Heros do not stay lined up in ranks very long." Cookheads the blog has broken rank and moved in the direction of something heroic. What that will be is for us to discover together. Below is the link to that path.
